les vagues rise up & tease so entrancingly close to shore
moonlit starlit candlelit love – such milky white skin

(ripped a little torn a little & the chalky flavor's bound to stay
–but—
the warranty's not supposed to last long anyway)

those rotten wedding cakes of hammered gold & chocolate diamonds lick that girl's desire
murmuring, cajoling,
and who can help it?
out come italicized caresses of ooh, ooh, such

toxic

nothingeverythings

& so
the murmured love letters crawl their way back to roost &
stay,
growing, festering, but still so

phosp whore scent
